For High School Counselors

High school counselors play a vital role in helping students explore college options and embark on their higher education journey – and we’re here to support you as you support them through the process. 

At University of Michigan-Dearborn, we keep class size small so that professors get to each student by name. Beyond the classroom, students put their dreams into action and gain valuable experience through research, internships, service and study abroad. With 150+ student organizations, athletics, and numerous campus events, your students will have plenty of opportunities to get involved, make friends and build momentum toward a meaningful future.
